IN SYDNEY, Australia, roughs of the street are called 'larrikins. The name came from the reply of policeman who was asked by the Court what there was against the prisoner whom he had ar rested. "Just larrikin about tho sthrates, yer honor," was the reply of the policeman, who was an Irishman. From that time disorderly conduct was termed larriking, and the rough was called larrikin.

Of a volcano near Mount mentation,

1enai1lls, ilaa cited the keenest inter

ed a new key to the geological history
iof the Connecticut valley, The dis
covefy was made by Prof, n. S.SDavis,
'of Harvard University He has been
engaged in making an exhaustive study
Of the trap-rocks Of this state, ana {iis
made his happy discovery OF volcanic
ruins while. searching for an entirely
different class Of geological phenomena.
Mount lamentation has been visited
by large numbers Of people during the
past few weeks. The various scientific
associations Of the state; and several
:geologists Of national repute, have care,
fully examined the interesting curiosity.
No volcanic cone or crater is still visi-
bic, but the phenomena Of the place
clearly indicate5that in the triassic age
violent explosive eruptions Of regular
volcanic type were frequent. Geologists
hayelong known that the trap-rock Of
the Connecticut, valley came up In q
molten condition and afterwards solidi-
fed, This molten mass sometimes
,solidified in assures in the earth and
sometimes overhowed the surface, like
lava streams, and was subsequently
covered up by strata of sandstone.
Prof, Davis has discovered what Is
technically known as the ash-bed, 1t
is deposit formed when molten lava is
thrown high into the ali by violent ex-
!plosions, and comes down In confused
mass, coarse and fine. In the triassic
period when these eruptions occurred
there must have been regular cones and
craters OF the usual type, but these have
all been effaced. 1t Is very probable
that other ,ash-beds may exist in the
range of Meridian hills. The geological
history Of this. region has always afford
ed a rich field for scientific research,
and the recent volcanic discovery has
given a great scientific boom to it,

called "pastimes,n which have of late
been introduced into the home circle
under the name Of art, is that Of model
ing in waI, It is not only interesting
and amusing; it is instructive, a pound
OF wax will keep a large family quiet
and busy for a whole evening, and
aside from the. often curious results of
the two Of. three hours work, there has
been gained an idea Of anatomy which
the workers we're quite unaware Of. 1t
is easier to model a head, sucha assit is,
in wax, than to make a drawing; the
light and shade is made with every
pressure and there is nothing flat, so
that it is q more prolific medium than
charcoal and paper. AT first the anna
teur produces rather archaic object,
but during the evening, after he has
had a little facility added to his hand,
he will discover that he has been more
of an observer than he was conscious
of. He will also glance up from his
work and look at some member Of the
family to locate the ear, or eye, or chin,
and SO by degrees he constructs 6 really
good head and in weeks time is able.
to obtain likeness Of some member of
the family, So, little by little. the arts
are creeping into the shop aud home.
1t is BY this medium we shall be able
to add more interest to the higher and
more complete arts and the observer
who has handled the wax at home win
be better able to pass Judgment on q
